Dietz Gun Shop & Shooting Range

[TxRiverman]

This range in right outside of New Branufels and is one of the nicest I’ve been to. The staff is super nice, they have a RO who is no nonsense but also has takes the time to educate the inexperience. You can also shoot out to 200yds. Best thing is the price, 20.00 for all day, no silly membership fee or charging by the hour.

I've been a member there for many years. Some people don't like the pistol range - it is rather odd. The way the line is set is definitely different and can get kind of sketchy if there are noobs out there. The rifle range is awesome.

Used to be my go to spot until I started going to Lonestar. Steel out to 300 with an all steel pistol range and an all day pass for $12.

I was turned off and won’t go to Deitz. Only been there once so maybe I picked a bad day, but I’m very close and won’t shoot there. Same with Bracken.

What happened to turn you off?

I live off FM 1863 not far from the range but rarely drive past them. One day I decided to drive by on SR46 to check the place out. It was a week day afternoon I happened to be off work. I stopped by and went in and talked to the guy behind the counter to ask about hours, check out the range, etc. I told the guy as much when I walked in.

I can’t say the guy was mean but he sure wasn’t friendly. Made me feel like I was bothering him asking questions. I’ll admit he was short of being outright rude but definitely gave me a negative vibe. I didn’t look around much but I wasn’t impressed with what I saw.

I left and never went back.

I did shoot at Bracken 10-12 years ago. That place just was off putting. Guy was a real jerk. They shut down the range a lot to put up targets. Just was a bad experience.

How long ago was this? Maybe you caught the counter dude on a bad day. Although I do understand how off putting it is for someone who’s taking your money to act like that, which is why I drive from Lockhart to New Braunfels to shoot instead of going to Lone Star which only 8 min from house. Every single time I’ve gone to Lone Star they’ve all acted like I was a criminal. Hands hovering over their sidearms, giving me the mean mug, talking to me like I slept with their mom….

A couple years back. Yes, I certainly may have caught the guy on a bad day. But that said, I still wasn’t impressed by the layout or flow of the place.

I’m not trying to sway anyone here, other than let folks know there is a new leader at CRR and he is way easier to deal with.

”No Nonsense ”is the ‘’raison d’etre’’ of a Range Officer !

Last range I attended, we watched a “teacher” sweep the gallery with his 1911, finger ON trigger, three times before I pointed it out to the young Range Officer.

(All 3 were in rapid succession.)

Safety is EVERYONE’S business !

Having, once long-ago, to act as de-facto “Range Officer” to a bunch of highly educated but firearms-dumb Army Officers; I can relate to the the “hovering”.

But brief observation will tell who needs to be watched, with special attention, and who doesn’t.

The Army would provide one Sergeant out to Camp Bullis Range to “supervise” some 125 Officers firing on about 25 lanes; most with ZERO firearms experience.

Although we all were new to the “Stoner” rifles, a small handful of us were not new to weapons, nor to ranges.

Three or four of us would literally have to stand immediately behind the NYC boys, our arms outstretched, and holler into their ears: “Take your finger off the trigger; keep muzzle downrange.”. “Don’t turn around with weapon!”

This was partly caused by the Army sending them to a live fire range w/o any prior weapons instruction.

We all survived. . . . . .

Well, I guess I should not judge the place by one visit. I do trust y’all have good opinions.

I will give this place another look see when I get ready to shoot rifles past 100 yards. It would be when I want to get a good idea at my POI at the 200 yard mark

 

[Hoji]

I have had nothing but good experiences at Dietz’s

 

[Moonpie]

My one complaint about Dietz is the target boards on the rifle section suck.
Minor thing.

This wasn’t at the range, this was in the shop. Paying for my range time. Didn’t even have any weapons on me or around me.
